Several years ago -- maybe even 10 -- I felt it necessary to establish a website about building expansion at Schoharie school so I did that, and called it the Tattler. I was thinking of Addison and Steele's Tatler, published a few hundred years ago in London.

We shook things up a little, the school quieted down, and we discontinued the Tattler. Then, at the end of 2005, the Gilboa Dam crisis erupted and we started the Code Orange web site, later called Gilboa Dam Watcher. As we were phasing that out, the quarry issue erupted, the village decided to diddle unfair water rates to benefit owners of apartment buildings at expense of single-family homes, and the new school superintendent decided there could be yet another building project, this at "no cost" to residents. In the circumstances, I decided to reestablish the Tattler.

Eight Small Quakes in Berne
17 February 2010

The Lamont-Doherty Cooperative Seismographic Network recorded eight earthquakes in Berne, about 30 miles from the Gilboa Dam, on Sunday and Monday.
Scientists told the Daily Gazette they are not concerned about the series of minor quakes, called a "swarm."  The strongest was magnitude 2.2.

Small earthquakes are not uncommon in Berne. Lamont-Doherty lists 14 there since last August. The largest was a 3.1 on December 13. A year ago, a similar series of micro-earthquakes centered near South Berne brought increased inspection of the dam.

The 14 recent quakes listed by Lamont-Doherty are:
